Kilkenny Butterfly

I am being very picky how I use my Kilkenny marble beads from Ireland. I cannot replace it until I go to Ireland again, and that may be a while. But when I got this Thai silver butterfly I knew it would be one of the items. Using amethyst beads & chips, thai silver pendant, bead caps and clasp. I created this gorgeous Kilkenny marble necklace.

Kilkenny Marble is from Kilkenny Ireland, the city of Kilkenny is known as the marble city because many buildings in town are made from this stunning black marble quarried nearby.
The stone is a black limestone with stark white fossils veining through it.
